instal the new version for android Mozilla Thunderbird 115.1.1

Speaking of which, the tray icon's context menu has a 'Configuration' option that is grayed out. That should hide the program from the Taskbar, but only visually, it's running in the background. Right-click on the ThunderBirdTray icon and select 'Show/hide Thunderbird'. Wait, the email client is still displayed as an opened application on the taskbar. That's why we need ThunderBirdTray (or another similar application).

Hey, if the add-on does that, why shouldn't I use it instead of this tray program? The add-on will only minimize Thunderbird to the Taskbar, not to the system tray.

The name should tell you what it does, when you hit the close button in Thunderbird's window, the extension will minimize it. If you want to prevent the tray application from exiting, you can optionally install an extension (explained below). But it's not the other way around, i.e., exiting the program will not close the email client. ThunderBirdTray will exit if you close the email client normally. If the email client wasn't running when you started the tray application, it will open it. Yes, it is not a Thunderbird extension, but a standalone program that works with the email-client.Įxtract the application's archive to a folder, run the ThunderBirdTray.exe, and you will see a Thunderbird icon on your system tray. He mentioned that he wrote an open source application called ThunderBirdTray to address the problem caused by the broken MiniMizeToTray extension, and also to avoid disabling the Titlebar Tabs (which was a requisite for TBTray to work). This plugin was meant for users who prefer to keep Thunderbird running but out of the way when it is not needed.Īfter stumbling upon Birdtray andÂ TBTray, both of which are open source, I found a reddit thread by a user named AEGuardian. If you're like me, you've probably closed the application unintentionally at times, and missed important mails. That add-on put the mail client in the system tray.
